They are like time travel for me and very valuable. I remember vividly as a primary school kid getting on the 28 bus after school in wainui in the 60s and going to the library I don’t know how often every week. We lived in NZ from 1966-70. I read history, myths, archaeology. My main love is fiction, but I felt frustrated by the childishness of the children’s section’s novels and stories. I’d always been a big reader, but travelling on my own on my regular pilgrimages was very formative – it really laid the basis for a lifetime of commitment to reading and learning. The time of the library’s opening was relatively recent then, and having spent my early years in the UK, I didn’t really mark the library as anything out of the ordinary – it was in fact reminiscent of places at home in Scotland, where the war still felt closer, so it appealed strongly as something comfortably familiar. The murals themselves are terribly post-war British -tho how could they not be? My main memories are of going to the library on wet winter afternoons – again something that connected me back to Scotland, where we returned and where I’ve never left. My kids here would doubtless see it now as a curiosity. But for me it’s very personal. In my head I’m still that kid reading the biography of Napoleon – nothing can dislodge that. I’ve never yet been back, but recently lost my mother and renewing contact with old family friends in NZ has been very important, and I’m thinking of coming out. If I do, I want to take about a week just going round old haunts…The Library is on the list of crucial places…
